Helix Phaser

Power / Switching the 

effect on and off

Power input

To power up your pedal, connect a power supply 
to its power input socket.

The power input socket of your TC Electronic 
effect pedal is a standard 5.5 / 2.1 mm DC plug 
(centre = negative).

Your TC Electronic effect pedal requires a 9  V 
power supply providing 100  mA or more (not 
supplied). TC Electronic recommends using the 
PowerPlug 9.

To minimize hum, use a power supply with iso-
lated outputs.

Footswitch

 

To turn the effect on, tap the footswitch.

 

To turn the effect off, tap the footswitch again.

Audio in and out

Audio inputs (stereo)

The audio inputs on the 

right

 side of this pedal 

are standard ¼” jacks (mono/TS).

 

If your signal source is mono, connect it to the 
MONO in jack of the pedal.

 

If your signal source is stereo, connect the ca-
ble carrying the left signal component to the 
MONO IN jack and the cable carrying the right 
signal component to the STEREO IN jack.

Audio outputs (stereo)

The audio outputs on the 

left

 side of this pedal 

are standard ¼” jacks (mono/TS).

 

If the next device in the signal chain has 
a mono input (e.g. your amp), connect the 
MONO OUT jack of TC Electronic effect pedal 
to the other device’s input.

 

If the next device in the signal chain has ste-
reo inputs (e.g. another stereo effect pedal), 
connect the MONO OUT jack of your TC Elec-
tronic effect pedal to the left input and the 
STEREO OUT jack to the right input of the 
other device.
